Kinda like the way i feel about the Yankees.
This is basically how I feel as well. I've gotten better at letting it all roll off my back since this is the same deal we give the Yankees and Yankees fans every year. We're the Yankees in multiple sports now (at least in regards to winning) so we might as well get used to it.

Here's another saying. "Living well is the best revenge." The Patriots are a decent team, the Red Sox just won the World Series, and the Celtics don't look too bad either. It's a good time to be a sports fan in New England...

We are not the Yankees. Period.

It's a silly thought.

While we tend to agree for the most part, SK, I have to respectfully disagree about calling them frauds. They would be frauds if they tried to defend their bad apples. Don't we also have our share of drunken rebel rousers that frequent Gillette and tarnish our rep? How's about the juvenile "Yankees Suck!" Crowd?

If The Kraft's move is considered classy, and it most certainly is, then by the very nature of what WTHR is doing for Anna and her family they also get a move upwards on the Class Acts Chart. They didn't make the boos happen, but they are trying to "put the toothpaste back into the tube" ~so to speak. Not too shabby a peace offering if ya ask me ?

between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!
